Weeds in AZ!

This pic is supposed to represent "silly". Kinda looks like weeds tho- huh?

Trying to pull weeds with a 3 year old and a 1 year old...

takes place in a 30 min. period



Put on shoes and gardening gloves on both kids and mom - per kids' request.

Gave a cute green plastic bucket to each kid-thanks to grandma.

Mom's large bucket is half full from the last weed picking adventure.

Get garden tools and watch like a hawk that they don't stab someone.

Put kids' gloves back on because they fell off.

Pull a few weeds.

Stop to switch tools with Jacob because he likes mine better.

Move to new spot.

Get a band aid for Jacob because he has a green plant stain on his arm that he says is an ouchie.

Take away Lexi's gloves because all she's doing is throwing them.

Put back on Lexi's shoes because she took them off and she's crying cause the rocks hurt.

Jacob wants a drink of water.

Get sippy cups for both kids.

Take the large rake from Jacob because the rocks are hitting the car.

Pull some weeds.

Switch tools with Jacob again, per his request.

Say hi to the neighbor and try not to die from embarrassment at my pulled back wet hair that looks like I haven't showered for days.

He starts pulling his weeds. (what the heck---its a Thursday not Saturday? What's today...weed day?)

Take away Jacob's gloves.

Run to get Lexi who thinks the smoking while gardening neighbor is fascinating.

Pull some weeds at the far side of the yard.

Realize that we have a sleeping guest right inside the window that we're pulling weeds by.

(oops...poor Brenden getting an earful of us at 7:30 am)

Move to a new location.

Pull more weeds.

Lexi is tired (because she woke up at 5am!) and wants a nap.

The neighbor is done pulling weeds and his yard looks great.

He waves as he goes inside and I smile and wave wanting to cry. (haha..not really...just sounded dramatic).

Now-

Jacob is eating a snack...Lexi is napping...House guest is still fast asleep...and I'm blogging...all is right in the world.

Except for those stinking weeds. I sware!
